Habakkuk agains like the previous books, go on and on about the rage that God was going to inflict on the people.

The stubborn nature of men, for so many generations and for so many prophets cautioned the poeple.

But for me who read them, day after days, on the same subject, frankly became immune with the nagging. The event happen long time ago, it does not affect my people, yes, be faithful to God and yes so that His rage and His punishment will not be melt out. I know, I know.

Revelation, again talked about punishment, Psalm taked about remembering the time in Zion when the poeple was in Babylon. The same thing!

I prayer, and yes even though we know, we still act in rebellion. That is why the reminder. Repentence is therefore about the heart. The fear of punishment wont last that long. The desire to go back to our own self and comfort zone is such a powerful grip.

Let me be reminded, that my time and my stay on earth is finite. It is not with sacrifice that God needs, it is not the works. But an obedient heart and a steadfast love for God. The distraction of the world is simple too much and they catch our attention than the importance of being with God. I pray that as I discipline myself to seek God through His word each day, I pray that I will be able to seek Him. Let my heart be in tune with Him and be able to hear from Him.
